Karuna has been helping my dog Lando overcome some recent fear of going on walks, which has had a…read morenegative impact on his quality of life. From the start, Karuna explained and demonstrated simple techniques to redirect Lando's attention, gradually transform some of his anxiety into focus, and start him on the path to enjoying his time outdoors again. Seeing him go on walks like we used to was incredible; the little, gradual efforts to establish trust and communicate better with my dog have had a pronounced impact on quality of life for our little family! Thank you, Karuna. I hope many more people get to work with you to help their pets live fuller, more rewarding lives

We've continuously had a fantastic experience with them. Brook and Carrie provide regular, detailed updates, with pictures showing our pets relaxed and happy. We still have quite a crew (dogs, cats, foster kittens and chickens). They all appear content and well cared for when we arrive back home. I look forward to having the peace of mind we get with Brook, Carrie, and Premier Pet TLC for all of our future trips.

My dog's walker, Amy Schalk, keeps my pups entertained and takes them to different walking locations throughout the area. Apparently their favorite is the Bull Creek Greenbelt, at least it appeared so from the photo updates I got. Amy is full of patience and has a calm and warm nature with dogs. You can tell she really loves dogs (and they love her too).

We have used Game Time for a decade, and they're awesome! I trust them with our little dog anytime…read moreand KNOW she's safe, being cared for like she is when she is at home, and I love all the updates. If you've never used a pet sitting service or if you have worries about your dog's needs (senior, scared of storms, anxiety, needs meds), skip Wag & Rover and call Game Time. You'll be glad you did.

I'm so happy to review this wonderful service, and my doggie is even happier!…read more I was walking my dog 7 days a week for 5 years and then I broke my arm a month ago. UGH! I knew I had to get my Beau his exercise so I researched and found Game Time. Amy and her crew have been GREAT!! I was a bit concerned because of Beau's reactivity to other dogs, but they know how to handle it--probably better than I! Beau loves his walks with his upbeat and joyful walkers and Amy is so quick to respond to any questions I have or changes I need to make. Communication has been so easy. Such a relief!! Gets my highest recommendation.

The dogs were always excited to see her and I could tell she truly loved them. We don't live close to her anymore and I wish we had someone like her out here to walk the dogs when we get too busy.

This review is long overdue. Tails of Luck took extra special care of my relatively unsocialized…read morefoster dog. Erika made it easy to schedule an appointment for a 30 minute walk. She showed up on time and here's where she really shined: my foster was large (100 lbs) and relatively unsocialized, so he had stranger danger. When he ran up to her barking (my fault for not already having him on leash), she did all the right things. She looked away, didn't react, and let him decide she was cool in his own time. She never tried to force it, even when they started their walk and he shied at first. She let him go at his own pace and they had a nice walk. It was super helpful to me and she took excellent care of a giant, scaredy dog. Will definitely call on Tails of Luck again.

I told Lauren Auggie loves to swim & she offered to walk him down to her house & let him swim with her dog. Auggie must have had such fun because STILL tries to stop at her house every time we walk by. We can definitely recommend Lauren and her pet sitting services.

Finding a good pet sitter has been extremely difficult for us. We've used Rover.com several times…read morenow, and have been disappointed each time. We had hired someone through Rover on our recent trip to Maui, and though I was paying for house/pet sitting, the person was stopping by the house for maybe 20 minutes at a time, 4 times a day. My dog was a mess!! He has serious anxiety issues and has to be around people! A good friend told me about Lauren and Andy. We were crazy lucky that Andy was able to sweep in and take over our dog's care. He truly saved our vacation!!! He was there every night for my dog, and he was with him during the day as well. My dog was traumatized before Andy got there, and Andy knew immediately what my dog needed to calm down and feel secure. I can't thank Andy and Lauren enough for what they've done for us. I will be calling them from now on whenever we need to be out of town. Amazing customer/pet service!!!!

Their service is extremely efficient and the care the give your animal is top-quality. When you sign up,their team makes an initial visit for your dog to become acquainted with their new walker. Halfway through the year, the individual walking my dog changed and the process went very smoothly (the old walker even introduced the new walker to my dog so he would have a familiar face for the first introduction). I could not be more pleased with the service from Austin Dog Butler.

If my dogs weren't already used to their walker, I'd leave. Changes as of late have made this…read moreservice less than what it once was. No longer send email updates on walks. They no longer send photos to us as proof of walk and validation our dogs are happy. Rather than send photos to the owners, they take photos which are relayed back to corporate. I'm to believe this change is somehow beneficial to me? They have stated they no longer have the capacity to manually relay photos to clients, but ARE able to manually relay photos to corporation. A tad counterintuitive and certainly not focused on customer. They've also stated having a lock box at my house makes me more secure because they no longer hold onto keys. Sure, unless someone takes the box, their employees access my house after hours, etc...It's the same situation as before except more people have access to my keys than before. OH, and every update they give us online are EXACTLY the same day after day after day. Clearly, my dogs do not pee and poop the same number of times weeks in a row. They continue to insist clients love all their changes and fail to acknowledge any decrease in service as a result. It's "my perception," which clearly doesn't matter and is dismissed as a minority view rather than at all validated. What was once a good business has taken a hit. UPDATE: NO phone calls. No responses from the Dog Butlers. Having now talked to friends, found out they've dropped Austin Dog Butler.
